here's some details about the stuff on offer over there

The Wii system memory is likely to suffer however. Apparently combined all nine take up 1703 blocks of the system memory... and there's only 1840 blocks.

Anyway I'll copy and paste some stuff about what Japan got:

Star Soldier R
Hudson
1 Player
800 Points
141 Blocks
Wi-fi enabled
(Which sounds like a good deal to me as you can get MegaDrive/SNES games for the same price)

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
Square Enix
1 Player
1500 Wii Points
303 Blocks
Wi-fi Pay & Play enabled
(Yeah that's right it's going to charge you for downloadable content too)

Tenshi no Solitaire
G-Mode
1 Player
500 Wii Points
91 Blocks
(I don't think we'll get this)

Okiraku Ping Pong
Arc System Works
1-2 Players
500 Wii Points
274 Blocks
(Likewise, although do we really want it?)

Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Wii
Bandai Namco
1-2 Players
1000 Wii Points
285 Blocks
Wi-fi Pay & Play enabled
(Doubt we'll get this either, but even if we did it looks waaay overpriced)

Saku Saku Animal Panic
Konami
1-4 Players
1000 Wii Points
302 Blocks
(Could get this one in some form)

Dr. Mario & Virus Buster
Nintendo
1-4 Players
1000 Wii Points
86 Blocks
Wi-fi enabled
(I reckon this is the better substitute for Dr. Mario 64 which would have gone for the same price, so perhaps it's a good deal?)

Pokemon Farm
Nintendo
1 Player
1000 Wii Points
122 Blocks
Wi-fi enabled
Nintendo DS link to Pokemon DS games
(This one looks like an N64 game so makes sense to charge it at that price)

LONPOS
Genki
1-4 Players
1000 Wii Points
99 Blocks
Wi-Fi Pay & Play enabled
(And this one looks overpriced, but it's a 50:50 chance we'll see it anyway)

Makes me wonder when LostWinds is released; I haven't seen a single video from that game, and didn't IGN say they saw a trailer?

Wow, Dr. Mario & Virus Buster's multiplayer looks pretty fun. Definitely getting it.
Star Soldier R doesn't look like much, but I'll probably end up buying it because I love shoot-em-ups.
Lonpos looks addictive.

Only interested in Dr. Mario so far. I'm a sucker for pretty graphics so the Final Fantasy game slightly interests me too but I have no idea what the hell you are supposed to do in there. Also getting the Ping Pong game cuz it looks kinda lulz. :V

Future titles I'm interested in however are Bomberman, Defend your Castle and probably Lost Winds.

It looks like you are a king, and you need to build your kingdom and keep everyone in it happy.

Well I've got that far but... how? From all the screens I have seen not one had a build interface or anything similar. Just... people talking and... moogles.

****ing Final Fantasy. :<

From what I can see, it might be like Dark Cloud or Soul Blazer, but those games are amazing and I'm not sure if this will come close

That's entirely speculation, since I just saw him wave his arms around and then a building appeared out of nowhere, but at the end I think he was fighting an evil cloud monster, so maybe it's like that?
